The Walking Dead

I wouldn't say "idiot", though I'm not ruling out "unreasonably optimistic".

Michonne needs to learn to talk more. Say things like "Your boyfriend keeps a bunch of heads and jars and his daughter locked up in a closet. Don't you think that's odd?"

Ugh. Ugh. Arghlflarghl.

Fantastic episode. But three months. Urrrrrrgggggh.

God fucking shit damnit. Spoiler in the the end season preview. I hate spoilers.

I am putting it under the spoiler tag, because I know some of you will highlight it and get mad.

Darly lives

Ok, that black dude trading is getting ridiculous.

Guess it doesn't pay to be a black male in a Zombie Apocalypse.

What am I supposed to watch at ten now? That was the last thing on.

At least they have more than one black character in the show's lifetime. It must suck to be the last Asian in the post-apocalypse.

^ On the other hand, with perhaps the exception of college towns, Asians in general aren't anywhere near as represented in much of the south, Georgia included. Given the south's past, though, blacks are rather more plentiful there in Real Life.

Come now... They're in Georgia. The fact that an Asian survived this long into the zombie apocalypse in Georgia should be a testament.

I missed a few minutes because of the Cowboys and Family Guy, but did Axel appear at all? I don't recall seeing him or hearing him being mentioned.

Axel is the white prisoner, right? He was hitting on Beth and then found out Carol's not a lesbian.

That scene and the scene after it gave me whiplash.

What? That first part sounds kind of creepy. The second is just weird. I'm going to have to watch this again on Friday.

He assumed Carol was a lesbian from her haircut. When she said she wasn't he made overtures to hitting on her which she promptly shut him down, which, when you consider her past is something of a stealth CMOA for Carol.

Its getting to be like a male blaxploitation version of Highlander, "There can be only one!"

That was my first thought too. I guess they figure they can't have Michonne AND that prisoner guy AND Tyrese (or whatever his name is).

I hope Tyreese doesn't get killed when Morgan inevitably comes back.

As long as another black guy doesn't appear then he should be fine.

Bleh. Just spent most of the last hour cleaning up the character sheet for the show. Is Repair Dont Respond and Example Indentation really that difficult?

Hello everyone.

x12 I live in Georgia and I'm here to tell you...Glenn is going above and beyond surviving the South. It's trying it's best damn it, but he ain't having none of it.

Maggie and Glenn=best TV couple. Hell, even Carl did well. Badass doesn't even begin to cover things.

Axel hitting on Beth...ugh. Why couldn't he have died instead of Oscar. The big guy was interesting...and nice (guess we can't have too many nice people, things might get less droopy faced and crazy).

x6 While Carol's reaction made a little more sense after watching (She was shocked, mostly and maybe: "You're a sad little man, not even worth the trouble to threaten your ass") I still wanted her to at least warn him. He's felon. Hitting on a 17 year old! This isn't something to take lightly!

Little steps I guess. Maybe a little patience will see him handled.

Anyone wanna explain how both Michonne and the Governor managed to have open wounds come into contact with potentially contaminated things (zombie head water, zombie head glass) and not be snacking on their comrades? Is the zombie head soup in a lighted fish tank not enough? I guess the virus doesn't live long outside the human body

Oh, Tyreese. Yeah, I haven't read the comics...but I love this man

I don't think it's ever explicitly stated that zombie blood touching your internals will actually turn you. It was just a supposition by the survivors.

In fact, according to Robert Kirkman zombie bites only kill/turn due to infection and blood loss, there's nothing special about the bite itself, aside from maybe being more succeptible to infection and blood loss. So logically, there would be nothing special about other zombie fluids, either.

Ah, that's interesting. So there's no strain of the virus which is transmitted like, say rabies (maybe there was at some point). Just that the mouth of a walking dead body is a wonderful place to house lovely and deadly antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Like a damned Komodo Dragon!

Thanks for clearing it up

Just a note: Don't take me 100% at my word here. There's a lot of stuff I could be wrong about, and some I almost definitely am. But I'm pretty sure I have the basics right.

Remember though, they can't get infected with the virus because they already have it. Everyone does. It's just in a dormant state until they die.
